My Lord,
In reply to Your Lordship's Circular des-
patch of the 6th. July, 1906, received yesterday, asking
for certain information on the subject of railways in this
Colony, I have the honour to state that
(1) a railway 21 miles in length to be constructed
and owned by the Hongkong Government has been authorised
and is under construction;
(2) funds for this line will be furnished from repay-
ments of a loan from the Hongkong Government to that of the
Hu Kwang Provinces of China; and
(3) the preliminary estimate for this line is
£500,000, and for reclaiming a site for the terminal sta-
tion £50,000.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
THE EARL OF ELGIN, K.G.
